Thing # 3

The idea of using a blog in the classroom has a certain level of appeal. For me, the concept of blogging is to establish a form of communication by interjecting a thought, concept, or idea into the blogosphere in search of others retorts. As an educator, blogging will allow followers to subsequently respond to posts with their own insights which, in turn, will perhaps illicit responses from others. The possible communication benefits seem endless given the widespread coverage of the Internet today. Students and former students, parents and former parents, and many others can directly impact your blog. In my training for teacher license, I expect this blog will enable me to gain knowledge and appreciate the opinions of others; as well as see what others are blogging about. In the classroom, the speed of blogging can be used as an asset when information about daily, weekly, and monthly activities needs to be disseminated quickly and efficiently. Additionally, provided they are legally allowed by the school administration, blogs can be used to post schedules, up coming assignments, events, calendars, i.e. just about anything.
